SUMMARY:Restorative & Yin Yoga Blend “ Deep hip release” with Oksana Aston
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, January 18\n3.00-4.30pm Restorative & Yin Yoga Blend “ Deep hip release” with Oksana Aston\nThe physical tightening reminds us that the things in life we cling to are also the things that take away our freedom. We can bind our thoughts to rigid views and become stuck with an expectation of how things should be. When we are attached we are no longer free. When we work with our resistance\, whatever we fight against will stay with us until it’s heard or seen. You will be invited to go towards difficult sensations and mental resistances to see if they soften.\nThis practice uses blocks\, blankets\, straps and bolsters to change the experience of the pose.\nGentle massage with oil\, hands on assist and cool herbal towels for savasana will be offered to enhance your experience of rest and relaxation.

She has M.S. in Architecture from BNTU and has always been interested in wellness. Kriya yoga therapy from the Art of Living has helped Oksana to deal with trauma and depression since 1999 when she was dealing with physical and emotional trauma after surviving a stampede in her home country. It was in Denham Springs that Oksana dedicated herself to everyday practice and fell in love with yoga\, Ashtanga in particular. She has completed her first 200 hours Vinyasa Flow Teacher Training at Spiral Branch Yoga studio in Denham Springs with Elan Adams. She  furthered her practice and study in New Orleans with Melanie Fawer\, a KPJAY certified ashtanga teacher. Oksana is a 200 and 300 hour Teacher Training graduate at the Ashtanga Yoga Room in New Orleans  and has assisted Melanie Fawer during Mysore Style Ashtanga since 2015 and has been teaching at AYR since 2016. Later overcoming an injury she found restorative yoga beneficial for her recovery and was inspired to complete Restorative Yoga Teacher Training at Wild Lotus Yoga\, New Orleans with Andra Aitken. Oksana is always looking for ways to deepen her practice attending many workshops\, as well as being a dedicated yoga practitioner. Besides her teacher trainings she completed a Sama-Ashtanga Intensive training with Chuck Miller\, and studied with Manju Jois\, Sharat Jois\,  David Swenson and Robin Aurora. When Oksana isn’t practicing or teaching yoga she’s enjoying traveling\, long walks\, reading\, gardening and spending time with her husband and their rescue cat.\nSIGN UP NOW\n

SUMMARY:Community Meditation --> Free & Ongoing
DESCRIPTION:Join Shawn every Sunday\, as he holds the space for our Nola community to meditate.   \nThe practice of maintaining posture\, along with awareness of breath and attitude of mind\, helps us become witnesses to the multitude of thoughts that constantly flow through our minds. We simply allow these thoughts to pass\, finding instead our center of balance and the vast potential of staying connected to the here and now. \nShawn Mitzel began practicing sitting meditation after attending an Introduction to Zen class at the New Orleans Zen Temple in 2009\, taught by its founder Robert Livingston Roshi. The profound teaching of simply sitting without a goal\, aim\, purpose\, or for personal profit\, made an everlasting impression in his life. In January of 2017\, Shawn took the vows of a bodhisattva during a lay ordination ceremony. He maintains a daily meditation practice and assists the current abbot of NOZT\, Richard Collins\, with the monthly Introduction to Zen Meditation course. \nThe benefits of meditation that have been proved through science are now countless.  Start a meditation practice sooner\, rather than later!!! \n

SUMMARY:Druminyasa
DESCRIPTION:Drumming was the earliest form of tribal communication and has been used to celebrate significant ceremonial gatherings in many primitive cultures. The beat of the drums can be used to call in good energy\, remove bad energy and put one’s mind\, body and spirit in a hypnotic and meditative state. Feel the vibrations of the drums as you connect breath\, heartbeat\, mind & body to your practice. \n***Only a certain # of spots available!! $25 for drop-in; $15 for regular class package holders (sign up at studio); special priced packages not included such as “new student special” & “groupons”; all students must sign up for this unique class to participate.*** \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Note: Our regular class passes are not valid for this special class.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrad Ellsworth  \nFeatured by The Washington Times\, CBS\, and Washington’s WTOP news\, Brad Ellsworth of Druminyasa® has been playing drums and percussion for over 25 years.
